Good to know
Not during the booking of the Home Office Connect connection. However, you have the option of booking a telephone connection as a private customer at a later date.
The employer can only view necessary contract data such as name, connection address and mobile phone number. Usage-dependent data is not visible.
The private use of the connection can be regulated in company agreements. You should clarify tax law details with your tax advisor.
The connection can be transferred to a regular contract in which the former employee becomes the contract holder.
Yes, the connections are considered work equipment according to EStG §3 para. 45 and can be tax deductible.
No. According to EStG §3 Abs. 45 Home Office Connect is considered a work tool and not a non-cash benefit for employees. The costs are entirely covered by the employer.
No minimum contract term, can be terminated with 14 days' notice to the end of the month. Prerequisite is the availability of Easybell at the connection address and a suitable router. The contract holder of a Home Office Connect connection is the company that configured the connection, NOT the employee or owner of the connection address.
The employer can specify in advance which bandwidths and additional options may be ordered.
No telephony included. Employees who require landline telephony can also take out a VoIP contract with Easybell or other providers.
If employees leave the company, Easybell will offer them the opportunity to take over the contract and switch to a private customer contract. If the offer is declined, the contract ends as soon as the employer no longer covers the costs.
Existing Easybell connections of employees can be taken over. Landline telephony may have to be transferred to a separate contract, e.g. an Easybell Call tariff.
